Paltsi, Beach in Southern Pelion, Greece.
Paltsi is a small lowland settlement on the Aegean side of southeastern Pelion, at an elevation of 150 metres, about 10 km from Argalasti and 50 km from Volos, with views toward Skiathos. Its beach, Agios Konstantinos, lies below the village; it has no organised beach facilities and draws fewer people than neighbouring beaches because access is harder. In recent years rented rooms and restaurants have been built by the beach.
A nearby monastery founded in 1795 by the Stergios Brothers shows the religious history rooted in this area. The monastery stands as an important place of worship that shaped the local landscape.
The local community holds an annual festival on September 5th and 6th honoring Agion Taxiarhon, bringing together residents and visitors. This celebration reflects the religious life rooted in the area and shows how people maintain their traditions.
The beach is reached through Argalasti, where coastal dirt roads are narrow and four-wheel drive vehicles work best for safe travel. Visitors should drive carefully and respect the terrain, especially when conditions are wet.
